Swept to the sea incarnOdined with blood:
His are the eyes which saw unmoyed that

While his proud face his boundless pride

Through Southern seas or 10 the unknown

To found a greater Britain. Canada
Sends here her stalwart sons; Australia,
Ready to help us as in arms she stOOd308a3
To prove at need her kinsLip with her

Here, too, the dusky Indian at command,
Kneels to the Empress Of his Louisiana.
This is her year of Jubilee. They greet
Their sovereign lady, bringing to her feet
Gifts of all climes: and with them shall

The statue sf Gustemozin.
Mexican Two Republics.


Sunday was q great day for the de-
scendants Of the native races Of MeI-
leo, aud the indians, who constitute,
as a rule. the humber portion OF the
community, thoroughly appreciate it.
The Indian villages far and near sent
large delegations to witness the IN
yelling OF the statue erected in
honor OF the heroic Cuahtemoc,
the last OF the Aztec rulers OF
Mexico. The ceremony was attend
cd by an immense throng, without
reference TO class or race, which
shows not only that admiration for
patriotism and heroism Is universal,
but that race distinctions are un.
known in Mexico. While the I'M
bounded enthusiasm Of tbs Indians
proved conclusively that they consid.
cred Cuahtemoc their own hero, and
regarded the honors showered on his
memory as a compliment 10 their race,
the manifest interest taken in the
event by all classes Of society makes il

by the nation at large simply a.
that OF a Mexican hero-tbat lineage
and descent are forgotten in the uni
versal admiration for the glorious
deeds and steadfast patriotism OF the
last OF the Aztec Rmperors. Tbs,
monument is worthy Of the man in
whose honor IL is erected, and in 70.
viying an architectural style charae.
teristic OF MeIico's past, an effect
has been produced singularly in
keeping with the object sought.
While the monument is peculiarly
Mexican, its picturosqueness is an
innovation in modern architecture,
which, combined with it's artistic
merits. must necessarily challenge
tho admiration Of the lovers OF the
beautiful and the novel. We cannot
be accused Of eIaggeration or bad
taste when we assert that, everything
considered, America does not contain
better monument than that IN.
yelled on the Paseo dc Ia Roiorma last
Sunday. We congratulate the Meri-
can people on that sense OF justice
which caused the erection OF the
monument, and on the good taste
which has given 10 the country such
a notable work Of art.

A SCHOONER FOUNDERS.
Her Crew Of Ten Men Lost In the
Wreck.
The Captains Family Also Drown-
The Worst Gale In
Years.

MARQUETTE, MICH, September g.
Word has just been received Of the
laundering OF The schooner Niagara,
coDsort OF the steamer Raleigh, elk
miles northeast OF Whitefih Point,
Lake Superior, In yesterdays gaze.
She was commanded by Ospt. Glenn
ents and was ore laden from Ashland
to Ashtsbula. Her crew OF ten men
were lost, and the captains family is
also reported TO have been aboard.
The Niagara belonged to the ca me tow
as the schooner Lucerene. which WAS
lost last November of Ashland with
eleven lives. She was owned by Mr..
Corrigan, Of Cleveland. Owing to the
poor wires and the fact that there are
no survivors, details are hard to get.
Capt. De Los Waite, OF the steamer
Idaho, just arrived, reports passing
the wreck Of the Niagara at 1880
o'clock am, today. She lies In one
fathom Of water, ten miles this side OF
Whitefeh Point, and FIVE miles from
shore. Her mixsenmast just reaches
above water and her main and
foremas,s are floating near with other
pieces Of wrecksge. Capt. Waite
saw no traces of any OF her i'll.
lated crew, and states that though not
many miles from shore and the White
q sh Point Life Saving Station, no
small boat could have lived in the ter
rible sea which was running there
Wednesday. Tho United Empire ar.
rived at the Ssult during the day and
reported that II wac the worst sea her
crew ever experienced, and when the
Idaho came up It was still running
high. Ospt. Waite thinks that, in
addition TO the crew OF the
Nisgars, there were number
OF ladies aboard OF her, Es he
met her as che was bound up and
noticed them. All must hsve perished
I--between thirteen and fifteen sop,s.
The Niagara WAS In the tow Of the
Australasia this year--not OF the Raj
eigh as last year. The gale was one
Of the worst on the lake for years, the
wind reaching q velocity Of sixty
miles an hour. The George sherman

fears were felt for her safety. There
Is no way OF sscertaining the names

placing the instrument where 1t is,
nor has he the right to remove 1t. But
the agent who is responsible for Its
surroundings was either wanting In
judgment or impatiality and fair
ness.
The daily report from this station
has represented The tep psrature to be
from a. to u higher than was correct,
This report has made ii rsquently to
be 90, and sometimes above that and
even as high as 1902.
There are twenty or thirty accurate
Thermometers In this plaza, and in the
shade and unaffected by ref .cted
heat, the empsrature bss never been

DIR. 8. b. Sbuiord, one OF our most in
